Distributions

Current

An experimental Fedora port is also available, but it appears dead, being last updated in April 2009.

Until Debian Lenny, Debian maintained an Alpha port. Debian Squeeze will not support Alpha.

Openwall 2.0 has an Alpha port. The development branch is not built on Alpha. Further support for Alpha is dependent on user feedback. If you use Openwall on Alpha, please provide feedback on the owl-users mailing list.

Unmaintained

Many Linux distributions once supported Alpha, but do not any longer or have been discontinued. The following lists distributions who supported Alpha in the past and the last Alpha-supporting release.

Mailing Lists

The Red Hat list gets the most traffic and isn't geared toward a specific Linux distribution. The Gentoo list has extremely low volume and it entirely for Gentoo related discussion.

An Alpha/Linux Kernel mailing list is hosted at vger.kernel.org. To subscribe, send an email to majordomo@vger.kernel.org with a blank subject line with body subscribe linux-alpha. Archives are located on marc.info.
